 [[inference-engine]]
 ==== image:images/yes.png[yes] inference engine (noun)
 *Description*: In Red{nbsp}Hat Process Automation Manager and Red{nbsp}Hat Decision Manager, the _inference engine_ is a part of the Red{nbsp}Hat Decision Manager engine, which matches production facts and data to rules. It is often called the brain of a production rules system because it is able to scale to a large number of rules and facts. It makes inferences based on its existing knowledge and performs the actions based on what it infers from the information.

 [[infiniband]]
 ==== image:images/yes.png[yes] InfiniBand (noun)
 *Description*: _InfiniBand_ is a switched fabric network topology used in high-performance computing. The term is both a service mark and a trademark of the InfiniBand Trade Association. Their rules for using the mark are standard ones: append the (TM) symbol the first time it is used, and respect the capitalization (including the inter-capped "B") from then on. In ASCII-only circumstances, the "\(TM)" string is the acceptable alternative.
